I am busy reading books like mad about my rather compulsive way of eating.
I am going to get to the bottom of this!
One thought is that I was a bit OCD as a teenager (obsessive compulsive disorder) but not overweight at all. In my twenties I stopped the OCD (pretty much but started putting on weight).
So one theory (of mine) is that I have swapped OCD for compulsive eating!
I have noticed I kind of have to finish food, and even if it is opened and in fringe (chocs etc) I can't leave it until it is all gone!
I think exploding this and reading about it is making it worse as I feel I am almost giving myself permission to eat more! But I also hope this is a good sign that I am getting to the bottom of it.
Does anyone have any experiences of this, of counselling or any advice to offer, please?
Many thanks.
